Isaiah 32
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and as for princes, they shall rule in justice.
Taonani, kudzakhala mfumu ina imene idzalamulira mwachilungamo, ndipo akalonga ake adzaweruza molungama.
2 And a man shall be as in a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as by the watercourses in a dry place, as in the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Munthu aliyense adzakhala ngati pothawirapo mphepo ndi malo obisalirapo namondwe, adzakhala ngati mitsinje ya mʼchipululu, ngati mthunzi wa thanthwe lalikulu la mʼdziko lowuma.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be closed, and the ears of them that hear shall attend.
Ndipo maso a anthu openya sadzakhalanso otseka, ndipo makutu a anthu akumva adzamvetsetsa.
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Anthu a mtima wopupuluma adzadziwa ndi kuchita zinthu mofatsa, ndipo anthu ovutika kuyankhula adzayankhula mosadodoma ndi momveka.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be noble.
Chitsiru sichidzatchedwanso munthu waulemu wake ndipo munthu woyipa sadzalemekezedwa.
6 For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise ungodliness, and to utter wickedness against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Pakuti munthu opusa amayankhula zauchitsiru, amaganiza kuchita zoyipa: Iye amachita zoyipira Mulungu, ndipo amafalitsa zolakwika zokhudza Yehova; anjala sawapatsa chakudya ndipo aludzu sawapatsa madzi.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil; he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, and the needy when he speaketh right.
Munthu woyipa njira zake ndi zoyipanso, iye kwake nʼkulingalira zinthu zoyipa. Amalingalira zakuti awononge anthu aumphawi ndi mabodza ake ngakhale kuti waumphawiyo akuyankhula zoona.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
Koma munthu wolemekezeka amalingaliranso kuchita zinthu zabwino, Iye amakhazikika pa zinthu zabwinozo.
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, give ear unto my speech.
Khalani maso, inu akazi amene mukungokhala wopanda kulingalira kuti kunja kulinji ndipo imvani mawu anga. Inu akazi odzitama, imvani zimene ndikunena!
10 After a year and days shall ye be troubled, ye confident women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.
Pakapita chaka ndi masiku pangʼono inu akazi amatama mudzanjenjemera; chifukwa mitengo ya mphesa idzakanika ndipo zipatso sizidzaoneka.
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye confident ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins,
Nthunthumirani inu okhala mosatekesekanu; ndipo njenjemerani, inu akazi omadzikhulupirira nokhanu. Vulani zovala zanu, ndipo valani ziguduli mʼchiwuno mwanu.
12 Smiting upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine;
Dzigugudeni pachifuwa mwachisoni chifukwa minda yachonde, ndi mphesa yawonongeka.
13 For the land of my people whereon thorns and briers come up; yea, for all the houses of joy and the joyous city.
Mʼdziko la anthu anga mwamera minga ndi mkandankhuku. Zoona, mulilire nyumba zonse zachikondwerero ndi mzinda uno umene unali wachisangalalo.
14 For the palace shall be forsaken; the city with its stir shall be deserted; the mound and the tower shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Nyumba yaufumu idzasiyidwa, mzinda waphokoso udzakhala wopanda anthu; malinga ndi nsanja zidzasanduka chipululu mpaka muyaya. Abulu adzasangalalamo ndipo ziweto zidzapezamo msipu.
15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
Yehova adzatipatsa mzimu wake, ndipo dziko lachipululu lidzasanduka munda wachonde, ndipo munda wachonde udzakhala ngati nkhalango.
16 Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
Tsono mʼchipululu mudzakhala chiweruzo cholungama ndipo mʼminda yachonde mudzakhala chilungamo.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and confidence for ever.
Mtendere udzakhala chipatso chachilungamo; zotsatira za chilungamo zidzakhala bata ndi kudzidalira mpaka muyaya.
18 And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
Anthu anga adzakhala mʼmidzi yamtendere, mʼnyumba zodalirika, ndi malo osatekeseka a mpumulo.
19 And it shall hail, in the downfall of the forest; but the city shall descend into the valley.
Ngakhale nkhalango idzawonongedwa ndi matalala ndipo mzinda udzagwetsedwa mpaka pansi,
20 Happy are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth freely the feet of the ox and the ass.
inutu mudzakhala odalitsika ndithu. Mudzadzala mbewu zanu mʼmbali mwa mtsinje uliwonse, ndipo ngʼombe zanu ndi abulu anu zidzadya paliponse.
